Tata rolls out Safari Storme 'Explorer Edition'

Tata Motors is on a mission to recover lost ground in the passenger car market. It kicked off the Horizonext campaign a couple of months back, under which it would launch revamped versions of its existing cars, and the new Safari Storme 'Explorer Edition' is the first of many spiced-up offerings to come.

So, what's new here? On the outside, the Explorer Edition gets chrome-embellished headlamps and tail-lamps, a front nudge guard, door visors, and a massive compass decal on the bonnet. What's also massive is the 2-DIN touchscreen infotainment system inside, which, apart from offering Bluetooth connectivity, also doubles up as the Reverse Park Assist display. A Garmin satnav and art leather seat covers are the other interior additions.

What's more, you can also spec your Explorer with options like a bicycle carrier, a rear bumper-mounted cargo basket (can't imagine chucking much into it), and a roof-mounted canopy, if you'd like to take in the sights and sounds from outside the car. The rest of it is standard Safari Storme fare, with a 2.2-litre, four-pot diesel producing 138bhp and 320Nm of torque doing its thing under the bonnet.
